BENSON, Robert Hugh

BENSON, Robert Hugh
(1871-1914)
   UK writer; third son of Archbishop Benson and brother of the writers A.C. BENSON and E.F. BENSON. He was ordained in the Church of England but later converted to Catholicism. His fiction is intensely propagandistic; many of his short stories - including the fantasies featured in A Mirror of Shalott, Composed of Tales Told at a Symposium (coll 1907) - use Catholic priests as central characters. In his remarkable apocalyptic novel, Lord of the World (1907), the Antichrist woos the world with socialism and humanism, and the remnants of the Papal hierarchy go into hiding. The Dawn of All (1911) shows the alternative as Benson saw it - a future of utopian Papal rule.
